Academy Status

Northampton Primary Academy Trust

On the 1st November 2012 Abington Vale Primary School became an Academy, this gives us much more autonomy in how we run our school and will enable us to provide an even better service for our children.

In 2012 we joined four other amazing schools in the town to form a very strong working partnership together.

Lings Primary, Ecton Brook Primary, Headlands Primary and Weston Favell Primary schools are all fantastic and all have lots to offer in support and challenge to enable us to improve even further. We have formed a Multi Academy Trust together that means that we all remain individual and brilliant schools in our own right, but we also collaborate on a lot of issues and work hard to offer improved opportunities for all our children.

This is such an exciting project. To be working alongside such inspirational teachers and children is a real privilege. The benefits are huge and the potential is seemingly limitless!

Since 2012, our Academy has evolved, NPAT now includes Simon De Senlis Primary School, Rectory Farm Primary School, East Hunsbury Primary School, Upton Meadows Primary School, Blackthorn Primary School (01.06.18) and Thorplands Primary School (01.06.2018). Bringing our total number of schools to eleven.
